Tread Collections not synchronising to XT2

Post by ZumoGSer »

I have 47 collections ; a very big user of waypoints .After creating , say ten collections , anything thereafter stops responding .
Full synchronisation with Garmin Explore successful , just not with XT2
I have tried complete reset of XT3 and re installation to Tread .

The same thing happens to me. When I synchronize several of my "old" collections, and a lot of material comes together on the XT2, the synchronization stops working properly, and the Tread App starts disconnecting.

So glad that I'm not the only one .
I have deleted all data and reset XT2
Resynchrinised with Tread and all collections now not listed : just 3,000 Unorganised items
So disappointing, considering that Tread and Garmin Explore website are perfectly synchronised

That's right, the same thing has happened to me several times. The only solution I have found is to not activate Explore sync in the XT2, this way many collections can be imported without problems ;) . It doesn't happen with 4-6 collections, but when it goes beyond 12, and with a lot of synchronized material as you say, the problems begin.

Exactly
GARMIN need to know this
Once you have x number of collections , it stops synchronising

FIXED temporarily I guess ( no help from Garmin ), lots of trial , error and failure .
1) Make sure that Tread shows itself synchronising , if not redo the setup ( first the moment ignore the fact that the faulty Collections do not synchronise )
2) Tread , open the MAP and create a new waypoint and call it TEST
3) Tread ; save the TEST waypoint in EVERY COLLECTION , by selecting them all

You will then discover that all collections will synchronise and abd vanished will reappear

Magic !!!
4) Delete TEST , from the map ( which opens them all )

Easy !

My thinking is that something has confused the gpx files
A gpx file is completely overwritten as a new data file, when a new waypoint is added
A Collection is simply a gpx file , containing all waypoints and or routes .
Adding a new file to the Collecton creates a new gps , so adding your all effectively generates a complete new Collection

Fixes that Garmin users have to make because their software is regrettable. Do Garmin engineers do any tests? because if they left me in their office for 2 hours I would find several bugs in their software :lol: .
